The "Basilika Marienweiher" officially Basilica Mariä Heimsuchung People have been making pilgrimages there since the Middle Ages. The current church dates from the 17th century and is an impressive baroque work of art, with a magnificent high altar and a richly decorated interior, stucco, frescoes. At the center is "the" revered statue of Mary. Elevation to "Basilica minor" in 1935, Pope Pius XI conferred the special distinction on the church. The Basilica is located in idyllic nature in a quiet place, Marienweiher.

The present church stands where the monastery once stood. Friedrich von Sparneck, the monastery's founder, was buried here as early as 1477. The church at Sparneck was not very large and probably had a wooden tower on the roof. It only attained its present dimensions in 1695. The old monastery church now forms the choir of the enlarged church. A devastating fire largely destroyed the church on May 5, 1845. Reconstruction dragged on until 1861 and gave the church its present neo-Gothic appearance.

Finally, cyclists no longer have to ride on the road. From the town center, the bike path is somewhat hidden and barely marked. If you can't find this entrance, you can at least switch to the bike path at the end of the town. After about 1km, you then have a connection to the forest path (which leads almost exclusively downhill) to Marktschorgast, Wirsberg and the steam locomotive museum.
